Description gaoshang 2013-08-29 08:50:41 UTC
Description of problem:
virt-who failed to send host/guest info to Satellite when ESXi have no host at all, maybe Satellite missed to handle blank message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
# rpm -qa | grep virt-who
virt-who-0.8-8.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare ESXi with no host in it
2. Configure virt-who to connect to Satellite, set VIRTWHO_INTERVAL=5
3. Restart virt-who service
